The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced Wednesday afternoon that the 42-year-old male victim, from Richmond, has since died from his stabbing wounds.

Police say the attack, which led to a 22-year-old Richmond man being arrested, appeared to take place after a "random argument" between the two passengers.

They are now appealing to the public for any information on what led to the attack, especially the passengers on the bus, who apparently left before the police arrived.

"Determining what initiated the dispute between the two men involved will be a key priority for our investigators," said Sgt. Frank Jang, of IHIT.

IHIT is not yet revealing the names of the victim or the man in custody.

Anyone with information should contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or by email IHITinfo@RCMP-GRC.gc.ca. Or call Crimstoppers anonymously on 1-800-222-8477.

The Richmond News reported yesterday how police responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls at around 2 p.m. to an incident on the bus, close to No. 3 and Cambie roads, which led to a 42-year-old male passenger being taken to hospital in critical condition.
